Is there any way to acheive tight vertical line spacing on printed reports with FileMaker? I've tried both normal fields and merge fields without success, yet the line spacing for a plain text block can be set to less than one line (e.g., line spacing = .7) and receive the desired result. As my example file shows, setting a normal field to less than the font's default causes descenders to be cut off. Can anyone suggest another approach to try (short of a calculated field that tries to combine hundreds of lines into a single field)?

Thanks for any help.

Try leaving the field's height at 17 pixels, and setting the body's height to 14 pixels. You can force the height of the body by selecting it and entering the desired height into the Object Info box.

Keep in mind that the actual result might be printer-dependent.

That worked!

And it prints correctly on my printer. I never realized you could directly edit the height of the body.

Thanks, comment.
